“They sat like two amoebas, and did not know what to say. They were asked direct questions and would say, “It is difficult to say… we will see in the fight,” – what kind of a coach says that? Only one who doesn’t understand the sport. I just call them ‘Stopwatch’ and ‘Towel’. That’s as much use as they are, that’s it,”

“[MMA] is constantly improving, but ‘Stopwatch’ and ‘Towel’ have not changed anything in the program – just frozen in time and not been able to develop the base that Fedor already has. Fedor could train himself, he must take on it personally, to rethink many of the training points to learn and develop. Suffer and work!

“We’ll talk with Fedor – whether he wants to change something in his preparation. If he wants to, I will make the effort.”

Nice to see his own brother criticizing Fedor's own team. I think it may be too late to make significant changes to his game but if he puts everything he has in it and is dedicated to making a solid run again, then by all means.

Fedor hasn't seemed to have a solid gameplan for a long time. He usually comes in and wins by whatever he wants... seems like he's always gone on instinct. Since this has started to fail maybe a few months with Greg Jackson could help him. I know people are going to say he'll make him boring, but Fedor has such a great killer instinct a little better planning might be just what the doctor ordered.

I think Fedor is the type to go down with the ship, way to loyal to leave his comrades. Can't hate that, but I hate the fact he never moved to a legit mma camp with other UFC/Strikeforce fighters. It's the only way to stay up to date.
